    Cyber security software has been using AI (aka ML) for years. Blaming AI for this outage is stupid.

      I think the point (maybe I’m reading what I want) but it’s the substitution of human supervision for ML based decision-making and over-relying in ambiguous automation that are barely understood because most of them are black boxes to customers.

      Or I don’t know, AI bad I guess ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

        Nah the ML is generally just looking at trends in traffic on a network, and blocking traffic if it doesn’t fit the trends. It’s essential to use ML over humans for this because of the volume of traffic and the response speeds needed for cyber attacks. It’s simply not possible for a human to vet all that traffic fast enough.
